The logic behind sacrifice was harsh, but it made sense to those who believed in it. If the world was out of balance, someone had to pay the price to restore order. A bad harvest might cost the life of a sheep. A drought could demand a bull. But when a nation was in crisis, it was a human life that was required. While it’s easy to view these acts as cruelty, to them, it was just cosmic accounting. The universe, they believed, kept a ledger, and debts had to be paid in blood.

By day, they were students. Young men in stiff collars and ink-stained fingers, reciting Latin in classrooms framed by ivy and stone. They walked beneath bell towers, debated philosophy, and rehearsed the rituals of success. On the surface, they were simply the sons of the Republic’s rising class.

Kennedy riding through downtown Dallas, his motorcade gliding past crowds who had waited hours just to catch a glimpse of him. Sunlight flashes off the polished cars, Jackie Kennedy sits beside him in her now-iconic pink suit, and for a moment the scene looks almost cinematic.
